full interview with later this hour but here's some of what stuff has to say. army requirement is that one more get up and do some should leave libya among those who served in the previous government that are many refutable people with whom we are ready to have a dialogue so that they can become members of the executive orders of the future libya it's colonel gadhafi who is nobbs to get all of this in the first place if you prevent us from creating secure corridors for medicine and food supplies to those in need once he stops being literal the prospect of a dialogue will open up through an intermediary. the way in the program the citizens who say enough is enough when it comes to defeating drug pushers. can stand out in the crowd we have reported few minutes. nato is in this thing it's a military potential that the border with russia despite objections from the u.s.

russia there is the obama administration which very much wants a collaborative relationship on missile defense with russia and very much wants another arms control reduction agreement with russia certain republicans in the u.s. senate cannot write those things so we have to make that clear distinction between what the ministration wants and what some members of the senate want so focusing on what the administration wants and what russia wants they both want cooperation on missile defense and they both want to move on to a new arms reduction agreement and given that i think there's enough common interest to move that forward. but on the way the long running friendship between the u.s. and israel suffers a setback. rebuke vision of peace in the least. the details in just a few minutes. of georgians have made their anger known they were this week's heavy handed response to protests on thursday police used

gave me a start to. the deployment of the riot police didn't come as a surprise to any of us that it was the scale of the operation that was such a shock. the crowds they were following me my friends with the sound goal to chemists. covered in a thousand and seven protests that had also resulted in violence so the police presence this time was even greater and just as. the violence the most shocking given the age of many of the demonstrators. has been dubbed by some people the silver revolution and the older generation that family see in the crowd people as struggling with life and high food prices in the aftermath worried relatives and friends searched the hospitals the missing people. we told them we came to find these two million is between three until. we don't know where they are.

and they won't give us any information telling us to. the numbers of people injured or arrested the prefix stream lehi ok. h b you know a little people who aren't interested in government giving us any information about them there are now international calls for the government to investigate violations that created this human rights. to freedom of speech many pre-tested paid a high price for trying to have their say. i can't trust anyone anymore and never come to a protest rally again i just want to be safe. yet create this one think again taking to the streets despite ways they slide and people here refusing to be silenced and to delete. georgia's president mikheil saakashvili
12:13 am
says russia inspired this week's antigovernment protests and it's a former politician told r.t. that's really they want to blame but himself this is typical sign of signature or soccer shorts out there graphic rule he always tries to find a scapegoat he always. crossing the border of my country and tries to stifle my situation from mr quinn in georgia which is wrong he himself is the most dangerous. and destructive. factor of inside. the country and he's the one who needs to be blamed for before watching. a former. army chief that it is waiting to hear when he will be sent to the hague on genocide charges he was captured on thursday after sixteen years on the run and violence in

one thousand nine hundred four war crimes in the killing of more than seven thousand muslim and whites as confident. belgrade reaction to his arrest has ranged from jubilation to outrage. official belgrade is called the capture of former bosnian general it out on luggage a great thing for their country that sentiment has been echoed by many european officials but with serbia sights set so firmly on the chance of a potential e.u. membership and the billions of dollars worth of grant money that could come with it it seems that they are overlooking the wishes and feelings of the serbian people not a single person we have spoken to here in belgrade has said that they believe arresting the former general is a good thing or necessary for serbia to come to terms with its past many going as far as to say that the real criminal in this situation is the current president but is that they are selling his people. says he used the

biggest clue will use to be a he's a serbian with a serbian blood he's our man he's our general right we could start each music parachuted into the cape would be a team. if the people who hate. the ear of you give to give him the right to create money you know what i mean so far belgrade has reacted quietly to the news of our munches arrest and potential extradition to the hague war crimes tribunal what's a large rally is scheduled for later on tonight we are expecting thousands of people to gather outside the parliament building in the very heart of the serbian capital belgrade and of course looking back remembering previous rallies when a former leader of one project was arrested and extradited to the hague thousands of people took to the streets of the capital they were forced violently dispersed by riot police and many are fearing that this situation could repeat itself if that
12:16 am
if it is in fact extradited to the hague thoughts as some experts believe the apis in this people on the disappointment that they have for their government. actually keep them off the streets the thing is people have been so all disappointed about the outcomes of all these different demonstrations and unfortunately serbia that there's going to lots of reasons to demonstrate over the years that the enthusiasm is dropping a little bit so i think millions of people are actually on the healthy but they don't really trust anyone who actually calls them out to the street to demonstrate and they're also actually worried that the government should provide all the rest in order to make it easier so. the pressure for it already is so for that reason it's hard to say been crusie as it is there but there's a lot of missed
12:17 am
a lot of mistrust even floors of this issue all originally official belgrade forbade any public gatherings following the news of the molecules arrest fearing of course a repeat of the events of a few years ago when they're out on top was arrested and abstracted to the hague the war crimes tribunals but it just seemed that every action undertaken by official belgrade is aimed not at the people of this country but at those within the european union who do have the ability to open its doors for serbia but even with the arrest of that come law and his potential extradition not everyone believes that serbia will finally get its dream e.u. membership. more on the way this hour including a look at what's hearts in the frozen ocean divers discovering the creatures that psoriasis really sees the bottom of the planet. the face of a narcotics epidemic russia has been upping the ante in its fight against drug

guys aren't alone in rushing there and conventional methods of fighting against drugs their colleagues from the drug free city movement have been accused of torturing addicts after they've used handcuffs to force them to kick their habit they've also marks drug dealers houses to shame them in the community but what would it is our uprising against the drug dealers do you think it's better to sit at home and watch how the drug dealers will be killing you we managed to unite our forces and declare war to the drug dealers. sociologists a mob just as occurs when people become disillusioned by official efforts but the public taking the law into its own hands is an unwelcome trend berthing are for the border there are a lot of enthusiastic striving to eradicate this horrible evil by any means possible the women actions don't comply with the law the law is against them it's very official we can eradicate this evil but only by legal methods there are over

five million drug users in morden russia past amounts of money has been blown on reducing drug demand and treating addicts a statistic so just getting more and more gloomy. this is how the moscow activists a try. to stop the madness threatening the country with waterproof di they mark do as they say will have to hide from the public protest three weeks some a skeptical about their methods all those even accuse them of. but the antidrug vigilantes argue their form of justice is worth it if it helps save at least one life. r.t. north go. it's been a rocky a few weeks between israel and its biggest ally the united states first president obama said israel should. tonight and sixty seven prime minister netanyahu told the u.s. congress that his country. palestinian territories. know what is the main obstacle
12:21 am
to its. kind of course any peace deal is unlikely given america's unwillingness to challenge its partner. the most that president obama's calls for peace and the two state solution fell on deaf ears both with israelis for many from the near mentioning of going back to preen nine hundred sixty seven border lines is unacceptable. to you. because you said this last week and with the palestinians who believe there is nothing but words in what the u.s. president has said he's not a fraction of pressure on israel the prime minister of israel or of israel's government how it's like grass it's like a lose lose thing like it's very hopeless like we hear the very things that kind of and from and addressing the powerful pro israel lobby in washington president obama has made sure to reaffirm that no pressure would be put on israel to reverse the
12:22 am
process and he's proposed solution was just a friends advice use cannot be imposed on the parties to the conflict. no vote at the united nations will ever create an independent palestinian state and the united states will stand up against our first a single israel out at the united nations or in any international forum israel's legitimacy is not a man afforded by analysts say the contradiction of words and deeds has been a constant source of global frustration about the us foreign policy in the middle east one example the obama administration has called these really settlement expansion illegitimate when it came to actually voting at the un security council to condemn the settlement expansion is illegal the us veto the resolution the failure of the united states to deal effectively with the israel palestine issue and the double standards that we actually apply to the president made a very strong case that we should tolerate civilians being bludgeoned.
12:23 am
by their rulers but we do nothing when the only israelis do all these things for the palestinians because the world. pretty hard in terms of our credibility and prestige and internationally and that's not important a survey suggests president obama's ratings in the muslim world are as low as ever experts say the inconsistency with which the u.s. reacted to different episodes of the arab uprising is to blame president obama's speech on thursday was seen as a way to reach out to the arab wars and say the u.s. supports men and women of the street as opposed to suppressive lips but it seems these words resulted in more confusion about u.s. policies particularly when it came to these really policy in conflict with obama said what he said and tell us reach for the arab world. most of the palestinians feel frustrated. also i was even with the israeli media.
12:24 am
they are also. so i don't know who's happy i don't know. but president obama is facing pressure from both the international community that has long been suggesting the two state solution of the one nine hundred sixty seven border lies as part of that solution and its ally israel which find that proposal unrealistic president obama's attempts to please both the international community and israel seem to have resulted in yet another nonstarter in the middle east peace process i'm going to check our reporting from washington r.t. . well a similar of today's international stories we're covering for you this out a suicide bombing in northern afghanistan has killed a senior police chief in france rather is a clue that they took troops this crowd was one of the leaders of the northern alliance which forces against militants without a banner has admitted the attack on an upsurge in the prizes and security forces in the wake of the sudden bernardus killing. yemen's president and the country's
